The joke made by Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi about India did not know that it would insult his country.

What did Shahid Afridi say in the latest statement about India?

As soon as Pakistan’s semi -final match was decided with India, Shahid Afridi showed his true color and started making fun of India. He said, “Pakistan’s semi -final match is with India, now he will not know which mouth will play but will play with us.” But he did not know that this statement would insult his country.

Afridi would not have thought that even after a big match like the semi -final, Indian players will decide not to play it and will be out of the tournament. But Yuvraj Singh & Team did this. After this, when Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina and other players were going from the stadium, Shahid Afridi kept standing in helpless.
